Hi all Best of luck to you all on the tables tonight. I'm playing just a couple of games tonight as fed up of all the insults/rants at me in the chat box . Had someone threaten to come "cut me and my family" last night in chat - though to be fair I think I prob wound the guy up by saying he didn't sound old enough to play poker on here. But then tonight in the main BH £55 game I won a straight on with the river card - the guy who I beat had AK and said I deserved to die for playing my hand. I fully accept I'm not a great player of poker - but I enjoy my game and play "my way" - why do some people think they can hurl insults at me if I get a lucky hand? Posted by IrishRose

Just ignor them rose - it happens to all of us. Some players just don't know how to accept losing a hand.
I've been called all sorts of things and nowadays I just find it quite amusing.
Don't take any of the insults personally, just let them have their rant or report them if it's threatening.
I agree with what's been said Rose ignore them at the table but any threats of violence SHOULD be reported to CC. Tikay has made it perfectly clear in previous posts about chat abuse that threats of violence are intolerable.

As has been said Rose, report them. It is not on and is also one of the most unpleasant things about playing on a site when you get this kind of abuse. As for playing your way. (and I include myself guilty of this) we all tend to get a bit wound up when someone plays a hand differently to how we would play it ourselves or how it 'should' be played! What we tend to forget in these situations is that Holdem is your best 5 card hand from the 7 total cards, hole & board and how you play your cards before that point is generally a personal taste kind of a thing. we all suffer the beats and forget how many times our hands hold up. I have occasionally been guilty of berating people for bad play, which looking back on I shouldn't have done. As for threatening language that is way beyond the line of what is acceptable and what isn't.

It was a terrible call you don't need anyone to tell you that. Personally I'm folding Q6 suited pre even though it's only another 400. But then I'm a nit. And I hate the slowroll bang out of order.

Its is a bad call like, but then it also depends on stack sizes, the blinds and how active youve been tbh? A hand like that doesnt really tell the whole story, like if you had been pretty tight, not tending to bluff and have him outchipped massivly or he has fold equaity then its shocking call.
My personal opinion is aswell that the standard on the site is gotten much worse, like for instance you know in every table there is a massive donk who gets lucky, some of the things ive saw in the last few days has been truley unexplainable with some of the plays, even in the bigger tournaments to.

Totally agree with this. In last Fridays Orfy and Megastack there were some truly awful plays by players calling stacks off with only a high card or calling allins with bottom pair even. Luckily I benefited from it Even in the Primo last night on 861 there was some pretty atrocious plays. The standard really has sunk to a new low. Bring it on
